Scaredy Kat...

Howdy. Sitting here digesting my lunch before I attempt to bake cookies. I stopped by my parents' after the gym/supermarket (again!) and got a little emotional while we were talking about my current situation. I get upset thinking about all of the years I 'wasted' when I graduated from Temple...because I took a full time job at Clover (a discount retailer). That was the easy choice and I was pretty lost those days (post Bob, no confidence, etc.). Anyhoo...my mom mentioned that I was afraid 'of everything' when I was younger. I don't remember this, but evidently I had the opportunity to go to Europe in high school but refused.  I do, however, remember choosing Temple (over 6 other schools to which I had also been accepted and 3 scholarship offers) because it was the least expensive and easiest/closet option. Fear...it's a bitch. Unrecognized and unchallenged, it will wreak havoc on our lives...it certainly has with mine. Fear informs so many decisions. So for this phase of my life, I do not want to let fear have any say in what I do. 
I still don't know what I'm going to do, but for now, I'm not afraid...because I know I'll be ok.
Question is...can I bake??  :-)
